Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Speaker Punjab Assembly, and ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) government has said that the government should not talk about money if it is talking about humanity in the case of Nawaz Sharif.
Talking in Dunya News program” Nuqta-e-Nazar,” Pervaiz Elahi said that all the properties of Nawaz have been transferred to his children and encouraged the government not to do politics on such sensitive matters and let former premier leave the country.
Elahi said that Sharif family is also questioning why they should give any guarantee, adding that “Nawaz has been granted bail by the courts so why should he give guarantee to the government if he wants to leave for London?”
It is pertinent to note that the federal cabinet on Tuesday granted “conditional” approval to remove Nawaz’s name from the ECL [Exit Control List].
The government has asked the Sharif Family to pay Rs7 billion as surety bonds — equivalent to the fines imposed on him by an accountability court in two corruption cases Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Avenfield properties — in which PML-N supremo was convicted.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had categorically rejected the conditional offer of the government and have approached the court to seek the removal of former prime minister’s name from the no-fly list.
